Danny Cadamarteri's two-year affiliation with Huddersfield Town is set to come to an end at the conclusion of the 2008/09 season after the striker rejected a new deal at the Club.
The Club made a series of contract offers to the 29-year old during a long period of negotiations, which ended in a one year deal with an option on a second year dependant on the number of appearances that Cadamarteri made in the matchday sixteen. However, the former Everton Academy player has today made it clear to the Club that he will depart the Galpharm Stadium at the end of the current season.
Town manager Lee Clark talked about Cads' decision earlier today.
"We think that the contract offer we made to Danny was a fair one, but he has exercised the option of talking to other clubs given his current deal is coming to an end.
"In order for him to get the second year of his contract he would have needed to be involved in the first team for a certain number of games, but he was looking for the certainty of a longer deal.
"We wanted him to stay at Huddersfield Town and we made it clear to him and his agent that we wanted him to be a part of what we are doing here, but he has decided to go elsewhere in his football career.
"I wish him every success; he is a good lad and he has done very well for us. We're disappointed because we wanted to keep him, but we have to move on and I will look to bring somebody else in."
Former manager Andy Ritchie signed Cadamarteri in the summer of 2007, but the former Leeds and Bradford player had to wait until late September to make his Town debut after suffering a hamstring injury in pre-season.
To date Cadamarteri has started 37 games for the Terriers over two seasons with a further 12 appearances as a substitute, scoring 5 goals.
Everyone at the Club would like to thank Danny for his great contribution both on and off the pitch over the past two seasons and wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavours.
